Discover the most influential volcano with this half-day tour. Mount Vesuvius is known for its eruption during 49 AD, the eruption that destroyed the Roman Cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum and that to this day, dominates the skyline.
Start your adventure with a late morning pickup from Naples, then leave the city behind as you head toward the breathtaking landscapes of Mount Vesuvius National Park. Before the hike begins, enjoy a delicious group lunch, perfect for fueling up ahead of your climb.
The excursion continues with a scenic 500-meter hike to the summit of the legendary volcano.. Once at the top, follow the trail that circles the massive crater, offering panoramic views of the Bay of Naples to the east and west.
Gaze into the heart of this dormant yet active volcano. If you're lucky, you might see smoke rising from the crater, a striking reminder of its raw power. But don't worry, Mount Vesuvius hasn't erupted since 1950!
